A policy that pays on the death of the last surviving insured is a survivorship life policy, also known as second-to-die life insurance. It covers two or more lives and pays the death benefit only after the last insured person dies. This structure is often used in estate planning, business succession planning, and situations where liquidity is needed after both spouses or business partners have died. A joint life policy, by contrast, typically pays on the first death and then terminates. That distinction is critical: joint life = first death; survivorship life = last death. Universal life describes a flexible-premium permanent policy design and does not specify whether the death benefit is paid on first or second death. “Annuity life policy” is not the correct insurance classification here. The exam phrase “death of the last person” directly points to survivorship life. Reference topics: Multiple-Life Policies, Survivorship Life, Second-to-Die Insurance, Joint Life Insurance.
